Things i've noticed
1. Instant pain relief...
2. weight loss
3. social anxiety
4. AMAZING SLEEP!!!!
5. Dizziness

Overall, i feel great. I'm off of about half of my medications because of the new med... which that alone makes me feel excellent!!

I wake up in the morning ready to go. Before i woke up so tired, because i had either been up tossing and turning all night, or crying. Now i simply lay my head on my pillow and gently fall into amazing deep sleep...the kind of sleep i drool all over my pillow and wake up refreshed!

I am a little bit of a zombie during the day but i can deal with that its not a bad feeling. I don't feel like i'm in a dense lupus fog.

I'm feeling so good, i've invited friends over for supper. which is a rare rare thing for me to do. because by the time i fix supper, i'm usually too tired to enjoy the conversation and company of friends. i'm still tired at the end of the day..but the best part about the end of the day...i don't fear it... i know i'm not going to be withering in pain from the things i did during the day......its a great feeling... this living thing...

This doctor is going to help my body heal... i'm going to put this in remission.
